Tonquin Park encompasses several beaches and over 3km of walking trails. Very busy during the summer, but luckily it’s just as beautiful year round. #bc #canada #explorebc #vancouverisland #moonstarcreative Sunsetlovers hellobc coastalvibes wandermore

Most people have heard of Tofino… but just down the road might be my favourite spot on Vancouver Island 🌊 📌 Save for your Vancouver island road trip While Tofino is known for its long sandy beaches and surf culture, Ucluelet feels a bit more wild. The coastline is more rugged & rocky along the wild pacific trail and it’s a little quieter, which makes like it feel more special 💫 If you’re planning a Vancouver Island road trip, definitely add Ucluelet to your list! Even if it’s just a day trip from Tofino. The lighthouse loop views alone are worth the stop 🥰 - 👋 Hi! I’m Lauren, and I left the UK in my late 20s to travel Canada. Follow @jonesberry.goes for travel inspiration & epic views 🇨🇦 #ucluelet #vancouverisland #pnw #tofino #explorebc Where to visit on Vancouver island, day trips from Tofino, Pacific north west trips, beach walks, love hiking, seaside, coastal hike

6 spots you absolutely need to add to your Vancouver Island bucket list 🌲✨ Locations featured in the video👇 💧 1. Kennedy Lake: The largest lake on Vancouver Island and the perfect peaceful welcome right before you hit the wild west coast. The water is incredibly calm, making it a great spot for a quiet paddle or just skipping rocks. 🥾 2. Cox Bay Lookout: That iconic Tofino view! It’s a bit of an unmaintained, muddy scramble to get up there, but seeing the massive, sweeping curve of the beach from above is 100% worth the effort. 🪵 3. Trestle Bridge (Kinsol Trestle): Located in the Cowichan Valley, this is one of the tallest free-standing timber rail trestles in the world. Walking across this massive wooden structure feels like stepping right back in time. 🪨 4. Hole in the Wall: A hidden gem in Port Alberni! It was blasted through the solid rock decades ago for a waterline, but nature has reclaimed it, turning it into a gorgeous little oasis and waterfall. 🌲 5. Little Qualicum Falls: Tucked away in a beautiful old-growth forest, these cascading waterfalls drop into crystal-clear pools. It’s an easy, accessible loop trail that delivers huge views right away. 🏄‍♂️ 6. Cox Bay Beach: The ultimate surf hub in Tofino. Even if you don’t have a board, walking the massive stretch of sand, watching the surfers, and catching a moody west coast sunset here is unmatched. Which of these spots is going at the top of your list? Let me know below! 👇 Don’t forget to SAVE this post for your next island getaway! 📌🚐 #vancouverisland #explorebc #tofino #explore #pnwonderland
